Au Chant de l\u2019alouette is a bouncing call and response song that describes a young girl\u2019s encounter with an talking Lark while out picking berries. After accidentally stepping on the lark, the young girl is chastised by the bird. In our seconded interview, Irene informed me this song is a traditional french children\u2019s song she learned in parochial school.<\/p>\n\n

Lyrics: Au chant de l’alouette<\/strong><\/p>\n

French:<\/strong>
\nOn m’envoi au champs c’est pour y cueillir
\nOn m’envoi au champs c’est pour y cueillir
\nJe n’ai point cueilli, j’ai cherche des nids<\/p>\n

Refrain:
\nAu chant de l’alouette je veille et je dors
\nJ’\u00e9coute a l’alouette et puis je m’en dors<\/p>\n

Je n’ai point cueilli, j’ai cherche des nids
\nJe n’ai point cueilli, j’ai cherche des nids
\nJ’ai trouve la caille assis sur son nid<\/p>\n

Refrain<\/p>\n

J’ai trouv\u00e9 la caille couch\u00e9e sur son nid,
\nJ’ai trouv\u00e9 la caille couch\u00e9e sur son nid,
\nJ’ lui marchai sur l’aile et la lui rompis.<\/p>\n

Refrain<\/p>\n

Lui marche sur l’aile et la lui rompit
\nLui marche sur l’aile et la lui rompit
\nElle m’a dit “Poucelle, retire-toi d\u2019ici”<\/p>\n

Refrain<\/p>\n

Elle m’a dit “Poucelle, retire-toi d’ici”
\nElle m’a dit “Poucelle, retire-toi d\u2019ici”
\nJe n’suis pas poucelle, que j’lui repondit<\/p>\n

English:<\/strong>
\nThe song of the lark<\/p>\n

They send me to the field to harvest
\nThey send me to the field to harvest
\nI didn\u2019t pick anything, I looked for nests<\/p>\n

Refrain:
\nTo the songs of the lark, I awake and I sleep,
\nI listened to the lark then I fell asleep,<\/p>\n

I didn’t pick, I looked for nests,
\nI didn’t pick, I looked for nests,
\nI found the quail lying on her nest.<\/p>\n

Refrain<\/p>\n

I found the quail lying on her nest.
\nI found the quail lying on her nest.
\nI stepped on her wing and I broke it<\/p>\n

Refrain<\/p>\n

I stepped on her wing and I broke it
\nI stepped on her wing and I broke it
\nShe said to me \u2018Virgin\u2019 go away from here<\/p>\n

Refrain<\/p>\n

She said to me \u2018Virgin\u2019 go away from here
\nShe said to me \u2018Virgin\u2019 go away from here
\n\u201cI’m no virgin\u201d, I responded<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
